Tips to Ensure Well-Maintained Windows This Fall

Fall provides the best conditions for home maintenance chores. With pleasant weather, you can accomplish your cleaning goals faster. As the top residential window replacement contractor in the area, we make sure to inform our customers about the importance of properly caring for and maintaining their newly installed windows. Here’s a checklist of tips to help you get started.

Tips to Ensure Well-Maintained Windows This Fall

Remove Dirt From Main Window Components

Windows can last a long time if you routinely clean and maintain them. Use a soft brush or rag and warm soapy water to get rid of dirt and debris from the window sills and tracks to ensure flawless operation and prevention of drafts. The same soapy solution can be used for the glass, but water with a few parts of vinegar is a viable alternative.

Take Care of the Hardware

Use the same cleaning materials and solutions to maintain the sheen of the windows’ hardware. We recommend not to use abrasive cleaners or products with harsh chemicals as these may damage the hardware itself almost as much as the exposure to the elements. If fading is evident on the metallic parts of your windows, applying a small amount of light machine oil should do the trick.

Boost Insulation

Energy-efficient windows help ensure indoor comfort. However, you can further bolster this by investing in window treatments like heavy curtains and blinds. Installing them not only ensures privacy and darkness, but also provides warmth and insulation during the colder months.

Sometimes, cleaning and maintaining windows are no longer sufficient in keeping them aesthetically pleasing and functional. If they’re showing their age, it’s time to replace them with the best replacement windows in your area. Count on Renewal by Andersen® of Southwest Missouri for superior window and door replacement.

Reviews

"Quality product, quality workmanship. Everyone I interacted with at Renewal by Andersen of SW Missouri had pride in their work from sales to financing to project oversight to installation. It must be a great company to work for because that shows in the professionalism of the staff. Best of all, they want happy customers and go out of their way to make sure that happens. Yes, I love my windows (but I knew I would--it's a great product). Friendly, helpful, easy financing, and yes--they pass costs on to the customer for this, but it meant that I was able to get the windows I wanted and needed for my creaky, lopsided old house. Couldn't be more pleased."

"The company representative who met with me initially was very direct, told me how the process would go, explained about why Anderson windows are of such good quality and how they stand by their products and their workmanship. My 3 windows arrived when they said they would, & the men who installed them were very professional, polite, & efficient. They showed me how the windows work and left the room as tidy as it was before they did the installation."

"We just had our windows done by Renewal. They kept us informed about the progress of manafucture & installed at the approximate date. Good qualtity & if you didn't know that there were screens on the windows you would think they were missing. Very clear view. Great in this hot weather, the house stays cool."
